Be Part of "Hands Across the Sands" at the Jersey Shore Saturday to oppose offshore oil drilling.

[Joanne O'Neill]

 

 

Events being held at the Jersey Shore & Internationally

 

This is a peaceful gathering of people of the world.

§         Go to your beach on June 26 at 11 AM in your time zone.

 

§         Form lines in the sand and at 12:00, join hands.

 

The image is powerful, the message is simple. 

 

NO to Offshore Oil Drilling, YES to Clean Energy.

 

Hands Across the Sand is a movement made of people of all walks of life and crosses political affiliations. This movement is not about politics; it is about protection of our coastal economies, oceans, marine wildlife, and fishing industry.  Let us share our knowledge, energies and passion for protecting all of the above from the devastating effects of oil drilling.
